About KaishinKai

KaishinKai translates as 'gathering of open minds'. The goal of KaishinKai Dojo is to train quality instructors that will propagate the teachings of Henry S. Okazaki and the Kodenkan Danzan-ryu system of Jujitsu. KaishinKai Hombu was founded by Professor Ron Jennings, Kudan (9th degree Black Belt) in 1978 and consists of several affiliate dojo such as KaishinKai Seattle and students primarily in the Pacific Northwest. Professor Sue Jennings, Sichidan (7th Degree Black Belt) is sensei to Chris Eller. The KaishinKai Dojo itself is also registered with the American Jujitsu Institute, Jujitsu America, and the ShoshinRyu Yudanshakai.
